2. The patient is to receive oral guaifenesin twice a day. Today, the nurse was busy and gave the
medication 2 hours after the scheduled dose was due. What type of problem does this
represent?
a. ―Right time‖
b. ―Right dose‖
c. ―Right route‖
d. ―Right medication‖
ANS: A
―Right time‖ is correct because the medication was given more than 30 minutes after the
scheduled dose was due. ―Dose‖ is incorrect because the dose is not related to the time the
medication administration is scheduled. ―Route‖ is incorrect because the route is not affected.
―Medication‖ is incorrect because the medication ordered will not change.

MSC: NCLEX: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Safety and Infection Control

3. The nurse has been monitoring the patient‘s progress on a new drug regimen since the first
dose and documenting the patient‘s therapeutic response to the medication. Which phase of
the nursing process do these actions illustrate?
a. Human needs statement
b. Planning
c. Implementation
d. Evaluation

4. The nurse is assigned to a patient who is newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Which statement best illustrates an outcome criterion for this patient?
a. The patient will follow instructions.
b. The patient will not experience complications.
c. The patient will adhere to the new insulin treatment regimen.
d. The patient will demonstrate correct blood glucose testing technique.
ANS: D
―Demonstrating correct blood glucose testing technique‖ is a specific and measurable
outcome criterion. ―Following instructions‖ and ―not experiencing complications‖ are not
specific criteria. ―Adhering to new regimen‖ would be difficult to measure.

MSC: NCLEX: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care

5. Which activity best reflects the implementation phase of the nursing process for the patient
who is newly diagnosed with hypertension?
a. Providing education on keeping a journal of blood pressure readings
b. Setting goals and outcome criteria with the patient‘s input
c. Recording a drug history regarding over-the-counter medications used at home
d. Formulating human needs statements regarding deficient knowledge related to the
new treatment regimen
ANS: A
Education is an intervention that occurs during the implementation phase. Setting goals and
outcomes reflects the planning phase. Recording a drug history reflects the assessment phase.
Formulating human needs statements reflects analysis of data as part of planning.

6. The medication order reads, ―Give ondansetron 4 mg, 30 minutes before beginning
chemotherapy to prevent nausea.‖ The nurse notes that the route is missing from the order.
What is the nurse‘s best action?
a. Give the medication intravenously because the patient might vomit.
b. Give the medication orally because the tablets are available in 4-mg doses.
c. Contact the prescriber to clarify the route of the medication ordered.
d. Hold the medication until the prescriber returns to make rounds.
ANS: C
A complete medication order includes the route of administration. If a medication order does
not include the route, the nurse must ask the prescriber to clarify it. The intravenous and oral
routes are not interchangeable. Holding the medication until the prescriber returns would
mean that the patient would not receive a needed medication.

7. When the nurse considers the timing of a drug dose, which factor is appropriate to consider
when deciding when to give a drug?
a. The patient‘s ability to swallow
b. The patient‘s height
c. The patient‘s last meal
d. The patient‘s allergies
ANS: C
The nurse must consider specific pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic drug properties that may
be affected by the timing of the last meal. The patient‘s ability to swallow, height, and
allergies are not factors to consider regarding the timing of the drug‘s administration.

8. The nurse is performing an assessment of a newly admitted patient. Which is an example of
subjective data?
a. Weight 155 pounds
b. Pulse 72 beats/minute
c. The patient reports that he uses the herbal product ginkgo
d. The patient‘s complete blood count results
ANS: C
Subjective data include information shared through the spoken word by any reliable source,
such as the patient. Objective data may be defined as any information gathered through the
senses or that which is seen, heard, felt, or smelled. A patient‘s pulse, weight, and laboratory
tests are all examples of objective data.
